Defeat The Virus

I have been hearing all day even the last couple of days so much information about a new viral flu. I know that you have been listening to this too. I can’t help but feel that so much attention to it with fear as its impetus can in fact create a panic.

Fear can be a horrible thing in people who have just enough information to make it dangerous. Precautions are simple. Wash you hands often. Stay out of crowds if you have sniffles and especially stay home if you have a fever. Germs seem to be something people spread without thinking.

Viruses on the Internet can spread just as quickly and often in what seems to be a benign. Viruses can be attached to email containing images. Viruses have been known to be attached to greeting cards sent via the web. A virus can be added to a site through forms that are not protected against accepting certain strings of information.

Before anything is sent from you, or received by you be sure that it going through an email scanner. Delete anything in question no matter who it is from.

Opportunity is never lost
It goes To Those Ready to Accept It!

Today

My wife said, “Whatcha doin today?”

I said, “Nothing.”

She said, “You did that yesterday.”

I said, “I wasn’t finished”.

Tips and Techniques

Of all the virus software out there the one that keeps winning prizes at least as far as I am concerned is AVG. The free version does a great job. I believe that I have used all of the major software products and have always gone back to AVG. Just like good handwashing is essential a good virus software is your first line of defense.
